prognostication

After my holiday weekend funk, I needed a cosmic kick in the pants.  Here's a horoscope I had to hear from Rob Breszny's Free Will Astrology:

Are you up for some cutting-edge slashing and smashing and crashing?
I'm talking about slashing the price you've been paying for following
your dreams; smashing beliefs that made sense years ago but are
irrelevant now; and crashing parties where your future teachers and
allies are gathered. Once you get the hang of all that, Leo, you can
move on to other brilliant demolitions, like cracking codes, breaking
trances, and shattering spells cast on you by the past.

Also, I got quite a boost from the Sacred Advertisement on the page:

Evil is boring. The universe is friendly. Life is on your side. Joy is your birthright.


Cynicism is idiotic. Fear is a bad habit. Despair is lazy. In fact, all of creation wants you to succeed.


Act as if the universe is a prodigious miracle created for your
amusement and illumination. Assume that secret helpers are working
behind the scenes to assist you in turning into the gorgeous
masterpiece you were born to be. Retrain your senses and intellect so
you’re able to perceive the fact that life always gives you exactly
what you need, exactly when you need it.

Continuing my contemplation on imperfection and paradox, sometimes you have go into darkness to notice the light, sometimes you have to embrace the uncomfortable to be comforted, and sometimes you have to believe the lie to discover the truth.

I think it's time to get off my ass and dance...
